yarn commands are not working on node v18 with macbook

Question

I'm using nvm to switch between node versions. When I choose node v16, yarn is working fine on my Macbook. But when I switch to node v18 using nvm I'm getting this error.

yarn install v1.22.19

Even sudo npm install --globle yarn --force is not working!

 % sudo npm install --global yarn --force

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Found a quick fix, you can run these commands in your terminal!

On macOS terminal:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

On Windows command prompt:

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

On PowerShell:

$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"
